Digital Learning & Interactive Media
For Wildlife Conservation & Natural Science
I have a strong belief that wildlife conservation needs to take advantage of modern technologies to help expand their reach to new audiences, and influence those in positions of power through widespread media and digital learning campaigns. As such, I’ve developed and am still developing numerous interactive learning tools. These can be deployed easily on any laptop or mobile device, and are cheap and easy to produce, and provide a highly fun and unique learning experience for students of any age or background.
Climate Change Explorer App
This touchscreen app can run on any tablet or touchscreen PC, or on a connected TV with attached mouse. It allows users to explore climate change on their own. The guide includes basic information, vocab, visualizations of climate data, interviews and videos of climate researchers and even a trivia.
Biofact Challenge Station
Designed as part of our didactic information displays at The Nature Discovery Center of Cambodia, this touchscreen app accompanied a collection of real-world biofacts that students and visitors could interact with. The app provided additional factsheets and information, as well as a challenge to complete with each of the accompanying biofacts.
Cambodian Eco Explorer
This app was designed to run on a large 4K tv screen, controlled by mouse. Visitors and students could select from a photo gallery, a collection of field notes and wildlife illustrations, and an interactive ecosystem map. Within each section is a plethora of information, pictures and videos to discover.
Interactive Human Origins Timeline
This interactive timeline provides a visual scale for the evolution of humans and our closest ancestors. Click on each species as it appears to load more information, explore artistic renderings of the living creatures, or watch video clips on the latest discoveries for that species.
Timeline of Earth to Scale
This timeline represents 4.6 million years of Earth’s history, including all the major events. A great way to explore the formation of our planet and moon, various geologic periods, and the evolution of life and its various major steps in evolution.
Interactive Lemur Guide
This digital field guide features detailed factsheets on each of the 13 lemur species native to Ranomafana National Park. Students and visitors explore information of species diet, reproduction, ranging behaviors, listen to vocalizations and watch videos. The guide even includes a basic introduction and a lemur trivia quiz.
